The Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona, has conferred the prestigious title of Lapo Ekun of Ijebu Ode, Ogun State on Tunde Odulaja at a ceremony which drew dignitaries from all parts of the world to the ancient city.

The dignitaries, including Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State and his wife, Bamidele; the Chief of Staff to the President, Mr. Femi Gbajabiamila; a member of the House of Representatives, Ademorin Kuye, who was also honoured with a chieftaincy title as Otunba Ajana; and the Secretary to the Ogun State Government, Tokunbo Talabi, all watched with excitement as the revered Oba Sikiru Adetona performed the installation rites on Odulaja.

Admonishing the newly decorated high chief to be a good community leader and show exemplary leadership, the monarch reminded Odulaja of his responsibilities to the town and the people.

Oba Adetona also offered traditional prayers of good health and long life for the new community leader while reminding him of the need to be above aboard, being one of the 13 that would pick the next Awujale.

Odulaja had earlier taken his oath of office and an oath of allegiance to the palace to kickstart the ceremony.

Other dignitaries who witnessed the historic event were a former governor of the state, Senator Gbenga Daniel; the state’s Commissioner for Finance, Dapo Okubadejo; Senator Olorunibe Mamora and the Chairman of Ijebu Ode Local Government, Emilola Gazzal, among other notable personalities.
